OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if we dont need to run proofs, i can solve for x :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

as is, it reads that .... hmmm you sure its ABC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooops no its abd

OpenStudy (amistre64):

:) then ab = dc bd = cb = x ad = db: 16:12

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it looks to me like 12:x as 16:12

OpenStudy (amistre64):

by similar triangles:\[\frac x{12}=\frac{12}{16}\]x should be readily solvable that way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks for the help:)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good luck
